Grill: Stefan calls Isobel's number and leaves her an Elena-centric message. Damon walks in and Stefan tries to keep him from doing anything rash to THS, because...you know -- Damon! They snark at each other and Damon keeps pretending he's not upset about Rose dying. When he finally talks to THS, he promises he won't harm her, if only she'll tell him how to cure Rose. THS pretends like she's going along, but then smiles. "Bite me." And, yeah, I'm with those of you who think there's truth behind that wisecrack. I bet werewolf blood is the cure. Too bad Damon (who is usually sharper) doesn't get there in this episode, because SPOILER: Rose is so gonna die. When Damon persists in asking for a cure, THS gets awfully cocky, detailing all the agonies Rose will suffer. But I get a little pissed at him when she mentions the dementia and that Rose will turn rabid. I mean, I thought it was dumb he left Elena to play nurse, in the first place, but when he did, Rose was lucid and as weak as a kitten, so I can understand how he made that mistake. But now? He knows there's a chance she'll lose itand yet he doesn't rush back to Mossy Manse? That just seems out of character, to me. At any rate, THS tells him the only cure is to stake Rose in the heart. She then struts off, and we return to...

Mossy Manse: Elena brings some clean sheets into the room, but Rose is gone. Elena calls someone (Damon?) and leaves a message that she's worried about Rose and that [whoever] should come home. She finds Rose in the basement, sucking down more blood. Rose is again delusional and convinced Elena is Katerina. There's chasing, and hiding, and opening curtains to burn Rose. Elena tries to run out of the house, but Rose is too fast for her. Elena barricades herself in Stefan's room, opens the doors the to balcony, and then doesn't go out and sit in the sunshine, which makes me yell at my TV. I hate yelling at my TV. It's my friend. Poor old TV.

MFHS: Matt tracks down Caroline and wants to know why she ran away from his kiss. She admits she loves him, but she can't be with him. He wants to know what she's keeping from him and says if she loves him, she'll tell him, but when they're interrupted by a cheerleader in need of more burgers (not a euphemism, because what would that even mean), Caroline disappears.
